Pellissippi Students,

              Based on the blog title, I am sure you can tell that February is going to be a VERY busy month!  We have multiple events coming up, all of which are important and fun.  Check out the info below:

February 3rd:  vPod — Volunteer: People on Demand is an opportunity for you to network and meeting many East TN agencies.  You will be able to volunteer with any of them — so make some good choices!  Also, this is a chance to win a free iPod Touch!  All of this while eating free food — what more could you possibly want??

February 12th:  Speed Dating is a fun and exciting event that allows students to connect.  Whether you are looking for that special someone or just a new friend, this event will be fun and laid back.  We will have a live performance by one of your fellow Pellissippi Students, Clint Farley, and we will be providing awesome Valentine’s Day treats.  Come on down and have a blast!

February 16th/17th:  Voice-Out Results is a 2-day event that follows the original Voice-Out event held in Fall 09.  This is how it works:  Fall semester Voice-Out allows students to express their opinions, both positive and negative, as well as ask questions.  When Spring semester rolls around, those opinions and questions are addressed in the Voice-Out Results event!  That is where we are now — RESULTS TIME!  Even if you did not come to Pellissippi until this semester, this event is informative and beneficial for all students.  Come join the Student Activity Board and get the answers you deserve!

There ya go guys!  That was a quick peek into the future.  Hope to see you at all of the events!

*Remember* This blog is called Voice-Out Blog because I want to hear your opinions, questions, comments, etc.  Make sure you use it!

Your Student President,

Olivia Daniel

Welcome back Pellissippi Students!

For those of you who are new to Pellissippi State this semester, you are reading the Voice-Out Blog — in other words, this is the blog on which you can express yourselves freely (and constructively) in an effort to bring any change that you feel is necessary, to Pellissippi State.

My name is Olivia Daniel.  I am your C.O.S.A. Liaison, or, student body president.  I established this blog in Fall 09 so that you would have the opportunity to communicate openly with the faculty and staff of PSCC.  I encourage you to take advantage of this 24/7 online forum.  It is for YOU!

Any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, compliments, etc. can be posted here.  I WILL respond to you if you post something.

Continue caring about your education!

Your Student President,

Olivia Daniel

Pellissippi Students,

                      I wanted to give all of you an update.  Thanksgiving break has arrived and you all know what that means!  It is time to tantalize those tastebuds with the deliciousness of that turkey treat that we all know and love!  I hope all of you have a wonderful, safe, and tasty holiday with family and friends.  Remember that we are back at school on Monday, November 30th.  So enjoy your break and get some rest – we will see you then!  Once again, Happy Thanksgiving!

Your C.O.S.A. Liaison,
